Veteran Firepower Meets An Untested Force

Pompet Pongsuphan PK takes center stage in the main event, as he’ll square off against Myanmar's Nat Khat Min in what shapes up as a fascinating clash of styles at flyweight Muay Thai.

The 27-year-old Pompet has spent years sharpening his craft at PK Saenchai Muaythaigym, racking up 110 career victories with 44 knockouts along the way, including hard-fought wins that showcased every corner of his skill set. Now, coming off a third-round TKO over former top-five ranked contender Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi, a US$100,000 contract sits just within reach if he can keep his momentum rolling.

Standing across the ring is a genuine wild card. Nat Khat Min steps in with a jaw-dropping 32-1 record built inside Lethwei's unforgiving bareknuckle arena, a discipline that has minted some of combat sports' toughest competitors. Rarely challenged and even more rarely beaten, the Myanmar standout now faces his sternest test yet against a battle-tested opponent in unfamiliar territory.

A World Champion Braces For A Storm

The co-main event pits Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Champion Mongkoldetlek Por Pim-on against a genuine Uzbek wrecking ball in Utkirzhon Khamidov in a bantamweight Muay Thai showdown.

Mongkoldetlek's résumé speaks for itself – a veteran of ONE Championship's grandest stages who has traded blows with the sport's elite, most recently snapping Ruslan Tuktarov’s five-bout winning streak with a composed, clinical performance.

Khamidov, though, isn't in Bangkok to make up the numbers. His 9-1 record includes seven knockouts, forged through relentless forward pressure that has buried opponents under a wave of combinations. A promotional debut against a reigning champion is as tough an initiation as it gets, but the Uzbek appears fully prepared to announce himself on the biggest stage of his career.
